My kitchen is full of international culinary adventure year-round! On the adventure is a man, a woman, a preschool boy, and a baby girl. Oh, a college student who's staying with us too. New recipes, new flavors, new favorites ahoy!

Culinary adventure to Ghana! part 1: Plantains

For dessert I mixed pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, plantains, olive oil, and salt and made fried plantains! Now, this recipe certainly wasn't nearly as tasty as I'd had at a certain restaurant, but still they weren't bad. Next time though I think I'd try a different recipe.

This is what I dipped the plantains in. Nothing sweet at all about the dessert.

Slicing the plantains at an angle.

All coated and ready to go! To cook, I put a thin layer of oil in a skillet, and browned them. Hardly deep fried at all.
